Online poker players who wish to participate in the main event of the Aspers Christmas Cracker tournament next month have a good chance of doing so by visiting Paddy Power Poker. The online poker site will be hosting a series of reduced buy-in satellites for this great live poker no-limit hold’em festival.

The event is scheduled to be held at the Aspers Casino in Westfield Stratford City and will kick off on Saturday, 15th December at 2 pm and continue until Sunday, 16th December at 3 pm. Players will commence the tournament with 20,000 in tournament chips and a 30 minute clock that will increase by five minutes after each eight level.

Online players can avoid the GBP 250 buy-in by paying a visit to Paddy Power Poker at 9 pm on Tuesdays and participating in GBP 22 buy-in no-limit hold’em online re-buy satellites which will give them a chance to win one seat in the main event.

Paddy Power Poker is also hosting GBP 44 buy-in no-limit hold’em freezeout counterparts every Friday evening at 9 pm and will award lucky players a main event package worth GBP 500 at each event.

The online poker site issued a statement saying that they will be giving their loyal players an early Christmas treat and a chance to boost their bankroll for the festive season with an opportunity to visit and play at the new Aspers Casino in the East End of London.

Recipients of the first prizes are required to either play or forfeit the seat as these prizes are non-transferable, non-refundable and may not be converted to cash.
